Ground Control Part Number
Is there a part number for the Ground Control coilovers used in the Koni/GC setup that fit the svx?

Re: Ground Control Part Number
you need to call Ground control (530) 677-8600 and get them over the phone..> They are not listed on their site..
You can chose any spring rate you want but the rates they suggest are really nice for daily driving with the occasional race. I have 450 front 415 rears and I love them, little harsh on bumps but not bad at all Tom |

Re: Ground Control Part Number
Thanks Tom, I'll be contacting you once I receive the koni's and gc's to do the welding.

Re: Ground Control Part Number
Please do post up the numbers when you get them. I"ll be needing to do something about my suspension sooner than I thought and having numbers is helpfull to save everyone time.

Re: Ground Control Part Number
I think I have 325f/280r and I find it a bit softer than I'd like.
My last car with coilovers had 500f/400r, and it was too hard for daily driving, but that car had maybe half the suspension travel that the SVX has. Railroad crossings were murder on the car. But I wimped out this time. Rolls too much in hard cornering.

Re: Ground Control Part Number
I currently have the 450f/350r setup and I love it. Can't wait to see how it handles after I have the 50/50 power split from the 5 speed.
Then comes swaybars and endlinks

Re: Ground Control Part Number
If you have a set outside a car and can get me some measurements I would greatly appreciate it.
